Members Present: Joe McPhail, Jon Ridpath, Pam

1.Long time member Jim Kitson passed away recently. His
obituary from the paper was shared. A sympathy card was signed by members
present to send to Judy Kitson, Box 2440, Page, AZ 86040.
2. Treasurer Report: Tom Zwack was ill so no report was
given. Paid members at present are Bob Martin, Tom Zwack, Tom Morony, George
Watson, and Pam Brown. You can send your check for $40 to LPRCM at Box 1952,
Page, AZ 86040 or drop it off to Tom Zwack or Pam Brown. We are still looking
for new members so please invite those people you think may be interested to a
meeting or out to the field.
3. Pam sent meeting announcements to the newspaper, radio
station and the Chamber of Commerce. The radio station announced the meeting on
the radio and published it on their website www.lakepowelllife.com under Community
Announcements. Hopefully the other media will announce our meetings as well so
she’ll keep sending them meeting announcements each month.
4. Take off is optional but landing is mandatory! We need
to keep water in the portajohns so we are asking members to pay their “landing
fee” by bringing water to the field for the porta johns each time you fly.
Please bring as much water as you can safely lift to pour in. Jon suggested
using a cordless drill to turn an inline pump to get water where you want it
from large containers. We will ask the treasurer to research the cost of more
regular service of the portajohns from the local service providers. We need
more rain before we can roll the runway. Hopefully we won’t have to wait for
the monsoons! There seems to have been enough rain to encourage weeds to start
growing and we will need to stay ahead of the weeds.
5. Let’s get out there and fly as often as possible. It
will be soon enough that the heat will be a factor in our flying!
